LONDON - Singing is no more risky than speaking when it comes to the possibility of spreading the new coronavirus, British scientists said on Thursday , adding that volume is the most important risk factor.
That decision was informed by a study by scientists based at the University of Bristol, who examined the amount of aerosols and droplets generated by 25 professional singers who did singing, speaking, breathing and coughing exercises. However, singing did not produce substantially more aerosol than speaking at a similar volume, and there was not a significant difference in aerosol production between different genres such as choral, musical theatre, opera, jazz, gospel rock or pop.
